  • Kensal Green Cemetery (dt. Friedhof Kensal Green) ist ein Friedhof im Londoner Stadtteil Kensal Green und der erste und älteste kommerzielle Friedhof in London. Der Friedhof wurde infolge eines Acts of Parliament zur Beseitigung der Platznot bei Begräbnissen in London 1833 eröffnet. Das starke Wachstum der Stadt und die hohe Sterblichkeit hatten zuvor zu unhaltbaren hygienischen Zuständen in der Umgebung der vielen kleinen und überfüllten Begräbnisstätten geführt. Schon zwei Jahre zuvor hatte die General Cemetery Company Land erworben, um einen Friedhof zu errichten. Die Anlage wurde nach einem Entwurf von im Greek-Revival-Stil errichtet. Seit dem 13. Juni 1989 kümmert sich eine ehrenamtliche Organisation – The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery – um den Erhalt der historischen Anlage. (de)

It has three chapels and serves all faiths. It is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London. The cemetery was immortalised in the lines of G. K. Chesterton's poem "The Rolling English Road" from his book The Flying Inn: "For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen; Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green." Despite its Grecian-style buildings, the cemetery is primarily Gothic in character, due to the high number of private Gothic monuments. Due to this atmosphere, the cemetery was the chosen location of several scenes in movies, notably in Theatre of Blood. The cemetery is listed Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. It remains in use. (en)
